Project: John Scott Court, Harveyfields, Waltham Abbey, Essex

​

Client: Epping Forest District Council

Budget: £1,652,000

Timeframe: 52 Weeks

Brief:
To demolish a disused row of council garages and build a new apartment complex comprising of nine flats for affordable rent – part of the council’s five-year plan for new house building.

Outcome:
 

As Epping Council’s first new build housing scheme for 30 years, the property was opened with much fanfare. In a ceremony presided over by the deputy speaker of the House of Commons and the Chairman of the Council, the project was hailed as a great success.

​

Reflecting the measures we took to minimise disruption around the site, despite taking place in a residential area, the works didn’t give rise to any complaints.

How we did it:
 

Based on a design and build contract with Epping Forest and Employers Agents Pelling’s LLP, we constructed high-quality, energy-efficient homes for council residents on their housing List.

​

We resolved various site issues during the construction period, including remediation issues, utilities and drainage levels and very detailed balcony and security elements.
